Hilliard Airfield Gas Well Appeals Board Meeting Packet

Anyone interested in the upcoming O&G Appeals board meeting next week (5/19) can see the packet for the meeting at the link below.

Hilliard Field is Item #2 on the agenda. Beginning on page 175 you can read about variances that are being requested along with maps & schematics. Be sure to brew some coffee -- fun stuff.

From the maps on pages 179 and 180 you can see the proximity to Shadowridge Middle School and Bluebonnet Elementary.

According to the information, traffic would route south on 2499 to 121. Based on the aerial map on page 180 (also above), it appears a new road will be created that will feed into Arberdeen Rd. which is where both the Middle School and Elementary Schools are located. This road will be used for emergency access to the well.

If the variances are approved, expect to see unmarked trucks carrying produced waste water (frack water) down 2499.

One last curious thing I found is that the 1,000 foot setback appears to overlap with LISD land to the south of the well site and right next to the Middle School. Does anyone know if LISD was approached about the proximity of the well to school property?
